thanks, I'll check out the licensing and get back to you.

Just for fun, how long have you been using the rdesktop clients to connect
to the TS machine? Might have ran out of time on the temporary licenses?
Samba shouldn't be an issue either way as RDP is totally independent of SMB
(I can connect from a totally foreign (untrusted) domain to my terminal
server over the internet, but forget about sharing files that way).
Licensing would cause the client to be disconnected without much notice.

Yes, I can connect fine using a MS Terminal Server client.
Are you saying I should check MS group permissions on the TS to allow access
for the two linux boxes to connect? If so, should I run Samba on the two
linux boxes and make them part of the AD domain?
thanks,
Adrian

At a guess, the domain configuration for the servers contains something
that is forbidding connections from your client.
And, have you tried to see if you can connect using MS Terminal server
client? That would help to isolate the problem.

*WHY* would anyone join a mailing list with that lameware? It only discourages people from posting since they end up spammed with this BS (got 15 of these on another list that I've since dumped).

I am guessing that he wants you to use Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Pro
which come with a TS CAL ?
They aren't free either and you still have to purchase a regular CAL, so the
cost wouldn't be any different,...tell him to buy you the license and if he
doesn't, present your idea for these light client desktops to management,
showing that it is FAR less expensive to have a machine that has very little
on it that is specific to that machine AND that you need far less computer
to install such a client on compared to what you will need to install
Windows 2000 or XP. The environment is also far more secure, because once
you connect to the TS, you are bound by the security of the Server if you
want to do anything...the other way, people can do anything they want if
they install 2k or XP.
Present that and get his ass fired. ;-)

Someone posted the other day about this. They advised getting the latest
CVS version and compiling with a -5 for RDP5 support.
I haven't tried it.

hello!
Since about 3 months i'm using rdesktop 1.2.0 on freebsd to connect
to a windows terminal server in our company.
All is running fine, i never had any problems with it (exept for the
copy-n-paste thing, but that's already known).
But now i noticed, that i'm using a temporary license on the
terminal server, and my admin wants to force me to install windows
to be able to continue working.
I'm really sad about that, but it seems that i have to use windows
client because the terminal server seems to be able to check which
client OS is connecting and the admin doesn't want to buy a perm
license for me.
Are there any hints for fixing this problem without having to use
windows ?
TIA
Frank Altpeter
